To SPiff: No one is saying that Shoes are the ONLY place a bomb can be hidden. It can however be one of many places a bomb can be hidden, so why wouldnt you check the shoes ? And your civil liberties are not being violated by being searched before getting on an airplane. You have lots of travel options, car, bus, private plane or even walking. The choice is yours, and you can continue to whine about the TSA, as you do it so well.</font>
Underwear, body cavities, molded pseudo-flesh, et. al. are all places where a bomb can be hidden; why not check there?

I will not let some fascist group like the TSA dictate how I will travel. I have made my choice: I will continue to travel BY AIR and I will continue to oppose the stupidity of the TSA.
